G'Day Wes,
Thanks for posting.  :thumb

I knew there were the odd one in the Brisbane / Bremer system. That one is pretty big.

A few years ago, I remember reading a trip report on another forum, this fella was fishing off the bank in a creek at Rocklea( just near the Bunnings ). He had a 60cm euro on a brag mat.

Considering the flood brisbane had in 2011, I have often wondered when these pests would show up. Bugger !!

Thanks for the pic Wes.

Cheers,Dave.

If they are in the Bremer then they will be in the Brisbane River as well. Haven't seen any myself yet.

Cheers,

Graham

I guess the carp will be over the Mt Crosby weir now with the help of this flood. Time will tell I suppose. >:(

Apparently the eggs can still be viable for 7 days after the fish is dead. One reason to get them the hell away from the water.

Haven't seen them up that far before but there are a heap of them around rocklea, all you gotta do is walk around the creeks and you'll spot a them everywhere.

Nothing confirmed but I spotted some fish in the Brisbane where the Grigors Rd crosses it not far from Toolgoolwah.  Orange patches on them like pet Goldfish.  This was 18 months ago.  Might go back and check it out one day.
